A small monthly saving of €20 per vehicle can generate €500,000 in savings annually for a fleet of 2,000.

A minor drop in residual value, even by just one percentage point, can have significant financial consequences.

Lower residual values often lead to higher leasing costs, making vehicles less appealing to fleet buyers and potentially requiring deeper incentives to maintain sales.

Today’s market is shaped by fast-moving EV technologies, tightening environmental regulations, and growing competitive pressure, making accurate forecasting more challenging than ever.

Autovista Group’s advanced data solutions, APIs, and tools, including EV Volumes, provide real-time market intelligence to help you monitor emerging trends, respond quickly to change, and build resilient, future-ready strategies.

Enhance residual values to support higher list prices, reduce reliance on subsidies, and drive greater sales performance

Neglecting residual value (RV) management can expose your business to several risks:

  • Even minor, unexpected changes in residual values can result in financial uncertainty.
  • Increased lease defaults and damaged brand perception may hinder future partnerships
  • Lower vehicle desirability can result in excess stock and reduced asset turnover

With solutions such as Car to Market and Car Cost Expert from Autovista, manufacturers can refine vehicle design, pricing strategies, specifications, and production plans up to four years ahead of launch, helping position new models for stronger residual values and improved total cost of ownership.
